From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm currently enrolled in a postgraduate teacher education. Recently (August 2007) I finished my MA History at Utrecht University, focusing on early modern history. My thesis "De schrift, het licht en de wereld" focused on a discussion between Quaker missionaries and Amsterdam Collegiants.

I wrote term papers about:

  • obedience and resistance in early protestant thought
  • Spanish guerrilla warfare against Napoleon
  • Francis Fukuyama's Our Posthuman Future and the (im)possibility of evolutionary humanism
  • agricultural development of Germany 1400-1600
  • agricultural productivity change in the Yangtze Delta and England, 1500-1800
  • abolitionist Levi Coffin's autobiography

I mainly edit out typos, if I edit at all, really changing historical articles usually takes too much time for my taste, as you get around to checking many facts before even changing one sentence. And if I edit significantly chances are I have no idea what I'm talking about...
